Description

When running howdy add I get the below output. Dlib is installed on the system.

❯ sudo howdy add
[sudo] password for deepu: 
No module named 'dlib'

Can't import the dlib module, check the output of
pip3 show dlib

❯ pip3 show dlib

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with sudo howdy add and inspect the reported pip3 show dlib installation under /home/deepu/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages. Trace howdy's Python import under sudo and verify that the installed dlib module is discoverable there; done means howdy add no longer reports No module named 'dlib' on Fedora 34.
